Event Views
Eventonomy gives visitors four built-in ways to browse events: Grid, List, Month, and Upcoming. You control which views are available and which one opens by default.
What You Will Learn

- Which additional views Pro adds
The Four Free Views
Grid
A card-based layout with the event cover image, title, date, venue, and RSVP counts. Good for visually-rich event listings where images matter.
URL: /events/grid/
List
A compact row layout - title, date, venue, and RSVP status - without images. Good for high-volume calendars where quick scanning matters more than visuals.
URL: /events/list/
Month
A traditional calendar grid showing events on their calendar dates. Visitors click a date to see that day's events. The month view is powered by the eventonomy/calendar block.
URL: /events/month/
Upcoming
A sorted chronological list of the next N events, sorted by start date. Good for sidebars and homepage widgets. The eventonomy/upcoming block also renders this view in a compact format.
URL: /events/upcoming/
The bare /events/ URL shows whichever view you set as the default.
Setting the Default View
Go to Eventonomy → Settings → Display → Event views → Default view and choose Grid, List, Month, Upcoming, Week (Pro), or Day (Pro).
Pro - Week and Day options in the Default view dropdown require Eventonomy Pro.
Enabling and Disabling Views
Under Settings → Display → Event views → Enabled views (Free), tick the views you want visitors to be able to switch between. At least one must remain enabled (Grid is the fallback).
Disabling a view hides it from the view switcher and blocks direct URL access to that view's pretty permalink.
The View Switcher
When Show a view switcher on the archive is on (Settings → Display), the eventonomy/events-list block renders a row of view buttons at the top - visitors click to switch between enabled views without a page reload.
If you disable the view switcher, the archive is locked to the default view.
Events Per Page
Set how many events appear per page at Settings → Display → Event views → Events per page. The default is 12. Visitors navigate pages with next/previous controls.
Past Events
By default, the events archive shows only upcoming events. To include past events:
- Go to Settings → Display → Event views.
- Enable Show past events.
- Set Days of past events to show (0 = none; higher numbers include more history).
Pro Views
Pro - Week and Day calendar grids require Eventonomy Pro.
Week View
A 7-column hour-grid calendar showing events positioned by their time slot. Use the eventonomy/week-view block.
Day View
A single-day hour-grid calendar. Use the eventonomy/day-view block.
Configure the hour range and slot size for both grids at Settings → Display → Calendar view → Day starts at / Day ends at / Time slot size.
